I've created this diagram as an update for [1]. The previous chart didn't take into account several varieties, which is why the "Others" percentage was too small. Source data (1997) from: British council study "The future of English?", page 10.

The previous chart was from 1995, the current one from 1997. I've been looking for newer sources but couldn't find any. The British Council report from 2000 seems to be the newest and most reliable source. Dumbledore 12:08, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
